Come and see the world renowned Merce Cunningham Dance Company perform for the first and last time in east London before they disband at the end of the year. 

In a totally unique building takeover the company will present a fully immersive Merce experience from the moment you walk through the Stratford Circus doors. This is a one-off opportunity for fans and new audiences alike to interact directly with the multi-faceted work of one of the world’s choreographic greats and founder of modern dance.

Merce Circus includes performances of Squaregame (1976) combined with films and surprise events taking place all over the building. There is even an opportunity to learn a short Cunningham piece, Field Dances (1963).

"Prolific genius"

Merce Circus is presented by the Barbican, Dance Umbrella and East London Dance
